Takachiho Gorge rundturer

Our guide today was Jimmy, and we cannot thank him enough for his excellent service! Everything was efficient, clear and straightforward. His briefings on the bus allowed us more free time to explore each destination on our own. Even when he wasn't accompanying us, he thoughtfully reminded us of the important signs and directions to look out for so we wouldn't lose our way. Such thoughtfulness and attention to detail made our experience so much more enjoyable. Truly one of the best guides we've had so far! Highly recommended!

Tour guide Cho reminded us of the meeting time the day before and was already waiting at the meeting point early on the morning of the tour. After check-in, we were told the license plate number so we could board the bus, and the whole process was very smooth. Along the way, explanations of local features and mythological stories were provided alternately in Mandarin and English, along with various helpful tips. The meeting time and place for each stop were clearly communicated. The entire itinerary went smoothly; the tour guide had a soft voice and a constant smile 👍🏻👍🏻 As for the attractions, Takachiho is truly a beautiful and relaxing place, and the optional small train is well worth it. Although walking up and down the Takachiho Gorge at the end was a bit tiring, this entire trip was an overall wonderful experience!

Det här var en tur som vi gjorde tillsammans med våra föräldrar. Vi var lite oroade över om schemat skulle vara för intensivt, men det fanns gott om tid att titta runt i en lugn takt så att även föräldrarna kunde hänga med utan problem. Särskilt vår guide Lee Hyang-yong var otroligt vänlig och förklarade allt så bra, vilket gjorde turen ännu mer givande. Chauffören körde också mycket bra, så vi kom fram utan att bli åksjuka. Tack vare detta skapade vi underbara minnen. Rekommenderas varmt!

En perfekt naturresa till Kyushu, tack till vår guide Nanami! Precis avslutat vår resa i Kumamoto och Miyazaki, och jag kunde inte bärga mig med att skriva denna recension. Resruttens upplägg för denna tur var fantastiskt och kombinerade naturliga underverk med kulturupplevelser på ett perfekt sätt. Vi såg en av världens största aktiva kalderor i Aso, en oförglömlig känsla av jordens puls; vi promenerade på de vidsträckta ängarna i Kusasenri och upplevde en helt annan öppenhet och ro; och båtturen i Takachiho-gynningen var turens höjdpunkt, det kändes som att stiga in i en mytologisk värld. Själva hjärtat bakom alla dessa underbara upplevelser var vår guide Nanami. Hon är en mycket professionell och passionerad person: 1. Kunnig: Hon har stenkoll på Kyushus historia, kultur, geologiska bildning och lokala specialiteter. Hennes guidning var levande och intressant, vilket gjorde att vi inte bara såg landskapet, utan också förstod berättelserna bakom det. 2. Tvåspråkig kommunikation: Eftersom det fanns många utländska vänner i gruppen, tjänstgjorde hon på flytande kinesiska och engelska under hela resan och tog hand om varje medlem. Kommunikationen var helt problemfri och mycket omtänksam. 3. Varm och omtänksam: Hon bar alltid på ett strålande leende, tog noggrant hand om de äldre och barnen i gruppen och hjälpte alla att lösa olika problem, precis som en pålitlig storasyster. Tack vare Nanami var denna resa fylld av värme och minnen. Rekommenderas starkt till vänner som planerar att resa till Kyushu! Ser fram emot att ses igen på nästa resa.

Be ready to count your steps here! Nature vibes and a little bit of downhill/uphill walk. Still, the view was worth it ✨️❤️ Would recommend to book with lunch. We didn't expect it to have such quality meat for the price. It was really a surprise, glad we availed it 😊

Aiko-san was a wonderful guide for this tour. Miyazaki is a bit far from Hakata, but the ride was so comfortable. I loved riding the Amaterasu railway and the Takachiho Gorge was incredible! Every shot I had of the Gorge looked like a postcard! It is definitely one of Japan's best places to visit. The cafe near Amanoyasukawara has lovely food too. I would book this again, this was a fantastic experience.

My husband and I decided to book this tour because finding tickets to Takachiho Gorge on our own had been quite challenging. At first, we were a little hesitant since we only speak English and the tour was conducted in Chinese. However, from the very first moment we met our guide, Miya, all our concerns. Despite the language barrier, he did his very best to keep us updated on everything happening during the tour, and her kindness truly made a difference. We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Kyushu, from the breathtaking Aso volcano to the magical Takachiho Gorge, which was one of the main reasons we wanted to visit this part of Japan. We also got to discover beautiful places, shrines, and experiences that made the day even more special. The tour itself was fantastic, but what truly made it exceptional was our guide. A great itinerary can take you to beautiful places, but a wonderful guide can turn the experience into something unforgettable.

Traveling with the tour was very convenient. The guide took good care of us and provided great recommendations, allowing us to visit a variety of places in just one day. For those who prefer not to rent a car and drive, having 2 hours at the Takachiho Gorge, including the round-trip walk, was more than enough time. In the afternoon, we visited Mt. Aso. Even though the crater was closed, we were able to see the views up close at two different spots. Kusasenri offered beautiful scenery, though 1 hour might be a bit tight for sightseeing, having a meal, and shopping for souvenirs. Overall, it was a very worthwhile and convenient experience with everything covered, including a stop at a service area along the way.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide, Aiko, who was friendly, helpful, and able to communicate fluently in both English and Mandarin. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. A special thanks to her for helping all of us order lunch, which made things so much easier and more enjoyable for everyone. Her thoughtful gesture of giving us small gifts at the end of the trip was a lovely surprise and a sweet way to end our journey. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to detail. A big thank you also to our driver for providing a safe, smooth, and comfortable journey throughout the trip. Both of you made our trip more enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommended, and thank you for taking such good care of us! 😊
